CM Simpson: Writer & Gamer

Last one for the day! Santa's workshop is a mess. It started out a mess, but it is less of a mess than before.

Tamrain continues her adventures in the Alakh'ir.  

Clear's adventures continue. Will she level in time to take part in the Starlight Celebration?

It's summer. It's hot. And it's time for a trip to the deep mines for some resources. Well, it's one way to get out of the sun.

Some days our plans just go a little bit sideways - even at Santa's workshop...even if you're an elf.

Every year, I've wanted to showcase the seasonal celebrations different games put on...and every year, I've been too busy. This year, although I am running late, I am making a little time to share them. I hope you enjoy.

The first words for today are taken from the current work in progress: A Planet's Debt , the fourth book in the Ransomeer's series. Here you go: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I let my gaze wander around the cave, taking in the myriad formations, both crystalline and not, and noting the vines straggling down from a hole in the ceiling. The sight made me shiver, and I wondered how large the hole was, because the drop was something I wouldn’t want to take. And I’d taken my share. God only knew how I hadn’t broken an ankle. “Penny for them?” Mitch asked, and I blinked. “You know,” I told him, “The usual.” He gave a soft snort. “So, basically, you want to make it to the coast, check for signs of the missing colonists, pop another drone so we can monitor it while we’re chasing rogue ships, and thoroughly irritate our handlers about as much as usual.” I grinned at him. “Yup.”

We make a much-delayed return to Solace, where Ariel Blue builds the beginnings of an airport.
